How does a veteran withdraw an informal request, if over resources?

The veteran can withdraw the informal request (without giving reasons) on a statement in support of claim form (21-4138).  The veteran must reference the informal request date, the date sent and state that they will apply again, OR

The veteran does not request a withdrawal ahead of time, but instead  (in the remarks section of the 21-526 or 21-534) request that any previous requested award date be withdrawn due to ineligibility at that time and that the first day of the next month after receiving this form (526 or 534) be given as the formal entitlement date.
